What others said about the ending: huge letdown indeed.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
After reading this thread for a while I get the sense the only reason to watch this if I run out of other (better) shows to watch. Still got Blinders s4, Manhunt: Unabomber, and some others in the queue.
It is good, a little bit of time to settle on it and I think they did a decent job, but became too visual obsessed in the latter episodes at the expense of story and character building. Not sure if it has been renewed for a second season or if they will follow the less well received sequels?
Found Rei rather attractive personally, though the way her fighting skills varied for the needs of the story was a little odd. My GF wants her hair with the blond streaks when we can buy our own sleeves.

Pleasantly surprised by this. I'm never a fan of futuristic settings and it was hard to understand all this terminology at first. RIP Poe, best AI ever.
Mark Antony from Rome is in it. I love James Purefoy!!
Pilot was epic, I'm hooked already.

That's the spirit, don't listen to all the naysayers, it is very good.
I enjoyed it. Sillier than I expected from a book which was all about clever ideas but good fun all the same.
Was a great show until the last episode. Mind numbing, but the rest of the show was very enjoyable.
I enjoyed it, it was ambitions and had stunning visuals. However I found the plot with his sister a little strange and nonsensical. The murder mystery part was great though and the guy who played Bancroft was excellent, he really had a presence in each scene he was in.
James Purefoy. He is a damned good actor. Done a lot of TV stuff but really needs to do more movies.
Nailed it @Jagga7, that's my biggest take, the ambition of it. Between this Expanse, and others (feel free to let me know) it seems like more shows are going all in on sci-fi.
I watched it without reading a single comment in this thread. It has helped
Which is great because as a genre it offers so much scope for imagination and creativity, as well as spectacular visuals. So much of the Sci-fi on Tv, Netflix and the like is low quality pulp, no real ambition to it. I would love to see how a good team with a budget would take on some of the Culture books, or Hyperion Cantos from Simmons, Niven's Ringworld, Robinson's Mars books, The Foundation trilogy, Blood Music from Greg Bear. Has The Forever War been adapted?
They should do the "Forever War" and "Old Man's War".
Just starting this.
Is it worth sticking with, because at the moment I'm thinking these unintelligible bastards need elocution lessons?

Watched the first 30 minutes and sacked it. It looks to good to watch on my phone so downloaded 1080p and will watch on the TV.
Turn on the subtitles.
Only got 1 episode left - loved it so far - great series!
I'm going to, when I try again.
There weren't any subtitles when I watched this. I'm sure there's a lot of detail that went over my head. I also had to blag thru the Spanish bits...
I had them on the whole time. Made a big difference.
Ortegas body!! Damn she’s fine.
I watched the whole thing over this last week or so, and loved it. I don't want to fall into the trap of over-intellectualising an action series. It was fantastic for what it was.
Yes. I really enjoyed that. I'll keep the files and re-watch it soon.
Just got done with the book, excellent btw. They made some weird changes didn't they?
Season two drops on February 27th.
Over two years since season one, have to wonder if it's another case of Mindhunter and Netflix will let it die and cancel it after.

How's Mindhunter S2? I loved season one, very Fincher series. The man loves his serial killers.
Sweet. Ended up loving this show way more than expected after reading some of the reviews. The good thing is that S1 is still fresh in my memory as I only finished it back in November.
Most notably playing Marcus Antonius (Marc Antony) in Rome. So good.
Two years between seasons is a piss-take. I can't even remember anything about season 1.
I think the main guy's name was Cole and the guy running the hotel looked like Paul F Tompkins.

Seems to be common with not just Netflix shows but BBC shows as well unfortunately. At least it's not like we ll make it eventually kinda thing like Sherlock or Peaky Blinders.
Not far off to be fair to you, his name was Takeshi Kovacs
So close
.Must watch season 1 again. I remember feck all details but I know I enjoyed it.
Just about a month remaining and no trailer so far?
Anthony Mackie is taking over as Kovacs' new sleeve for season 2, right? No Joel Kinnaman.
Loved season 1 so I'm sure I'll enjoy this.
Yeah and Kinnaman was one of the worst things about season one, not sure how he gets all those leading roles.
No more Martha Higareda though
Aaargh I didn’t know she wasn’t back. But I guess it makes sense as the story is moving on a different line. Massive shame though, not least because she’s smoking hot as well.Yeah and Kinnaman was one of the worst things about season one, not sure how he gets all those leading roles.
No more Martha Higareda though
He's got that leading role image. Aesthetically he's good on camera, and he's got chops when he wants to. He was good in House of Cards.Yeah and Kinnaman was one of the worst things about season one, not sure how he gets all those leading roles.
